G._ Village nurses Revenge their wrongs with curses; I'll not waste A syllable, but thus I take the life Which wretched I gave to thee. [_Offers to kill_ Margaret. _Lov._ Hold, for your own sake! Though charity to your daughter hath quite left you Will you do an act, though in your hopes lost here, Can leave no hopes for peace or rest hereafter? _Sir G._ Lord! thus I spit at thee, And at thy council; and again desire thee, As thou art a soldier, if thy valour Dares show itself where multitude and example Lead not the way, let's quit the house, and change Six words in private. _Lov._ I am ready. _Wellb._ You'll grow like him, Should you answer his vain challenge. _Sir G._ Are you pale?

I'm sure it has ta'en away my stomach. I do not like the sauce! _Allw._ Nay, weep not, my dearest, [_To_ Margaret. Though it express your pity! what's decreed Above, you cannot alter. _Mar._ Was it not a rare trick, (An't please your worship) to make the deed nothing. _Wellb._ I pray thee discover, what cunning Means you us'd to raze out the conveyance. _Mar._ Certain minerals I us'd, Incorporated in the ink and wax. Besides, he gave me nothing, but still fed me With hopes and blows: and that was the inducement To this conundrum.
